This wasn't too bad. I went through and did the Mok'thardin's at the same time, then came back down and by the time I was at the end I had all 10 reeds.

Comment by krmtdfrog

Had an interesting thing happen today (patch 2.1 is current). None of the 10 nagas I killed while I was on the Mok'thardin's Enchantment line dropped an Akiri reed. Yes, easily explainable by unlucky drops, but I wanted to put it up here in case others had this same problem recently and a bug report needed to be submitted.

Comment by tshawjr

EDIT: Or a rogue stole them all off of them, because just after I posted, I had 4 drop on 5 kills.

Comment by royalplaya

it was an okay drop rate.. bout 10-15 kills to get all

Comment by Honorthehunt

sometimes you gotta look past the fact that it has a shitty drop rate, and enjoy the fact that its a good grind quest and alot of grind XP may come from it.

I found the drop rate a good steady drop every 5-6 mobs - this quest was decent and fun.

Comment by Coerodeus

Drop Rate seems to have been substantially increased since I last did this quest about five months ago. The rate used to appear to be about 1 in 10, now it appears to be 1 in 3.

Granted, maybe I was just lucky ...

Comment by andyliu1210

the drop rate has gone much better, it's about 40-50% rate. i got 21kills and gathered 10 already :)

Comment by PiMaster

It's looking to be about a 1:2 ratio, had 5 reeds in my first 10 kills. Pretty good drop rate.

Comment by Zachrias

After the 2.3 Patch

Don't think the dropprate has changed.

I had to kill 44 of these to get all the 10 Reeds (Dropprate of 23%).

Comment by tbmilling

As stated above the drop-rate has not been changed after 2.3.

I had to kill 57 to get my 10.... Boring but fine XP pr mob!

Comment by capricia

If you're lucky they drop Icewind Jerkin, a purple epic. I got mine off the eleventh Naga I killed. Sold it on the AH for 150 Gold!!

Comment by Aricik

The prior post are reflective- there were two Nagas that were glichted- did not respond- killed 12 and no reeds- abandoned quest. Not worth the time if i can get other quests that have better drop rates and just same xp and dont have glichted toons.

Comment by ajksac

The drop rate isn't low...its excrutiatingly pathetic. I got off the first few and then it took about 35 more to get a fifth...can't wait to see how many it'll take to ge the next five. If your someone who doesnt mind grinding for XP though it is great for that...

Comment by mrdummy

After killing nagas for 10 pieces, the droprate is 44%.Just low droprate or i have luck.

Comment by nihmue

To me the droptrate seemed ok-ish too.. I didn't count but it took about 20 minutes, I didn't even have to clear the area twice.

Comment by Survin

Got my first after about 10 kills, and then it went like 2 pieces every 3 kills. Piece of cake.

Comment by frieto123

Naga Exlporers: 24,63 (lvl 43-44)I did this quest 10 seeds 28 kills averages out to be a 35-36% drop rate.

Comment by Ashtongue

I pickpocketed a Shiny Dinglehopper!

For the quest... killed 15 of them and no drop, this is where I abandon quest and go do something else... perhaps I'll return someday... for a 41 rogue, the 43-44 Naga Explorers were actually hard to kill, had to eat after every fight, or if lucky after 2 fights.

Comment by Teeferbone

Reasons to do this quest:

-The fate of the entire universe depends on it.

-The only way you reach climax is by killing Nagas.

-You hate your friends, family, girlfriend, etc.

-You voted for Bush in 2004 and feel that you owe it to the rest of the world to atone for your sins.

---- and / or -----

-You just took about 200mg of adderall.

Dear Blizzard, L2P.

If you crack open the clams they drop some have pearls.

Comment by Uennie

It took me forever to do this quest, the drop rate was horrific for me. I got one every 15 Naga, literally. I think I just had bad luck, because the first time I've done this it wasn't near as bad.

Comment by Eriza

my first kill, i got one. heh

drop rate should be about 40% It was average for me.

looking in the positive side:This is worth the time IMOif the drop rate is low, then more xpthere are some nice loots too.

Comment by MrBrotato

I cleared the area about 3 times, horrible quest.

Comment by Nienie

After killing 10 for the Mok'thardin's Enchantment quest, I had 4 reeds. After killing 6 more to get to the Holy Water, I had 5 reeds. Since it seemed to be about a 30% drop, I thought I'd actually finish the quest. Took me 39 kills (~25%). They aren't difficult to kill though so it wasn't as tortuous as Singing Blue Crystals. :)

This drop rate sucks, that all there is to it. It's the same as the dew quest in Taranis, the drop rate just sucks.

Comment by DyingScarecrow

Killed 23 Nagas to get the 10 reeds required to complete the quest. But I recieved a good amount of experience from the quest and picked up a few items that sold well (Sniper Rifle of the Tiger & Overlinked Chain Pants).

Comment by dt75006

Completed as lvl 41 Prot Paladin. Easy to find. From Booty Bay, follow the tunnel that leads out to STV. After you exit the tunnel on the STV side, turn left and follow the path to the beach. You'll probably have to kill 2-3 lvl 40 humanoids on your way down the path. At the far end of the path is the beach with a wooden bridge off to your right. Run across the bridge and follow the beach around to another clearing. Kill 2-3 more lvl 40 humanoids and continue following the beach. You'll see the nagas up ahead and to your right, in the grassy hills. They are all level 43-44 and hit relatively hard but will run when low on health so be sure to use any ability you have to keep them from fleeing. The drop rate was not too bad. I cleared all of them all the way down to the far end of the beach and then again on the way back out and that gave me all ten akiris weeds I needed. None of them dropped any weapons/armor or greens.

Comment by Thurmer

Not sure if for some reason wow hates me or if its bugged just for me but for some reason I got to 8 bundles reasonably quickly then its just stopped. Haven't had another bundle drop for about the last hour of naga grinding...

Comment by Sardoche

Drop rate sucks and doesn' make sense. I killed like 20 of them and got just 4.

Comment by rb136

Just finished questAfter reading all the above post i was going to drop it. Then decided i would check it out, the drop rate was about 1 out of 3 for me and took aprox. 12 min to comp. Not bad for 5300 exp. I think sometimes we want them to be too quick and easy and when there not we forget that you somtimes have to work a bit. At least try it.

Comment by PimpyMicPimp

They definetly buffed this recently. I remember this was evil on my Warlock and Shaman, but doing it on my Priest it was a breeze.

Comment by spammedheal

I think the drop rate has improved, around 25% I think. Ran the whole beach around 3x up and down.

Comment by nowayride

Great as a 40 shaman. Go get the reeds, hearth to BB, turn in and get followup, take the boat, waterwalk down to Theramore, then hearth back to BB again. Takes only a few minutes.

Comment by riaglo

Their is a website where you can watch cheese age. Much more exciting than doing this quest. Cleared 4 times before my 10th drop. Only saving grace is a Naga dropped a blue trinket and the chest reset 3 times although nothing good in it/

Comment by knerf

Seems the droprate on the levs 44 is much higher then the 43, so stick to the 44's
